NTE: Neverness to Everness has officially revealed the first skin for upcoming playable character Hotori, donning a stunning formal dress. Hotori is set to release as the second S-Rank character featured on the limited gacha banner during NTE‘s launch update.
NTE‘s launch in late April has already given fans plenty to do, from collecting its colorful cast of characters to exploring Hethereau City. The game features a friendship system allowing players to deepen their bonds with their favorite characters, giving the ability to ride in their car, go on dates, and even unlock special skins at max Bond. NTE‘s world also offers multiple side activities and minigames, including running an in-game cafe, signing up for street races, and pulling off bank heists. Now, NTE is getting ready to debut its second limited character, Eibon Antique Shop’s boss Hotori.
How Neverness To Everness Improves The Gacha System
Neverness to Everness takes gacha games to new heights with its innovative approach to character pulls and rewards.
NTE Reveals Hotori’s Priceless Orchid Skin
Hotta Studio officially revealed Hotori’s new skin, titled Priceless Orchid, on NTE‘s social media accounts. The outfit will see Hotori don a formal dress instead of her traditional Japanese attire, with the skin’s splash art set against an eerie background filled with its namesake flower. NTE previously teased Hotori’s new character skin, revealing that it will be available as a bonus for reaching 100 pulls on her limited gacha banner. Hotori is currently scheduled to release alongside the second half of NTE‘s Version 1.0 update, set to launch on May 13.

NTE has shown off some of the other rewards players can earn for pulling on Hotori’s gacha banner as well. Reaching 50 pulls on Hotori’s limited banner will reward players with a special glider based on her umbrella, while 100 pulls on the banner will grant a unique bike wrap with Hotori’s colors. Hotori is also expected to release with at least one other skin, likely receiving a casualwear skin for reaching Bond level 10.
Hotori has already been teased numerous times by Hotta Studio, with her NTE debut just a few days away. The Eibon boss was previously confirmed to be releasing as a Cosmos character in NTE, mixing a support role in combat with the potential for heavy damage. Hotori will utilize her own special mechanic called Non-Closed Timepiece, allowing her to slow the flow of time in battle and even copy her teammates’ Redirect Skills when using her Ultimate. Hotta Studio has yet to reveal what Hotori’s Life Skill in NTE will be, with the non-combat skills providing boosts both in NTE‘s mini-games and general boosts.

NTE fans should have plenty to be excited about from the open-world RPG beyond Hotori’s release and Version 1.0. Hotta Studio previously confirmed the two characters that will be featured on the gacha banners during Version 1.1, showing off Chaos and Lacrimosa. NTE has also teased multiple cast members set to join the playable roster throughout the game’s upcoming updates, including Alphard, Akane, Shinku, and many others. NTE‘s roster looks to expand significantly following its high-profile launch, giving fans a plethora of exciting new units to acquire.
